All businesses are required to display a Covid-19 QR code poster .
I applied for one on Friday for our Rotary Bookarama.
It wasn’t a difficult process but when I finished I got a message saying owing to high demand it would be two days before I was emailed the poster.
It’s now more than two days but of course this is the public service so it would be two working days.
This doesn’t matter too much for Bookarama. We won’t be opening until we’re back at level 1 and there will just be a few of us sorting the books we’ve already got.
But when we’re being told how important contact tracing is, a two day delay could matter for a whole lot of businesses which are dealing with large numbers of people, especially when they are required to display a poster by midnight this Wednesday.
That the system can’t deal with demand for QR posters is yet more evidence that while the government and health officials were spending large amounts of money advertising the need for us to prepare for Covid-19 in the community they weren’t following their own advice.
UPDATE: This was my mistake, when I saw the notice it could take two days to get the poster I didn’t check my emails. When I still hadn’t seen an email this morning, I did a search of my inbox and found the email had come in on Friday soon after I’d applied for the poster.

Goodness HP – you surely did not expect anything organised by the current government to happen within the timelines they said.
Never has over the last two years.
Perhaps if you complain to the Minister they will put a working group in place to look into the delay.
